continue using it.

Important Information for users with an expired trial license

If you have previously installed and activated Safran Risk using a trial license, and this trial license has

now expired, you should follow these instructions to re-activate Safran Risk.

The first time you run Safran Risk after installing or upgrading to the V7.2 release users with an expired

license will be taken to the screen below (Figure 1).

PLEASE LEAVE THE BOX ABOVE ‘APPLY KEY’ EMPTY AND DO NOT CLICK ‘APPLY KEY’, INSTEAD SIMPLY

CLICK ON THE ‘ACTIVATE AGAIN’ BUTTON HIGHLIGHTED IN THE SCREENSHOT.

Figure 1

Clicking ‘Activate again’ will take you to the main Safran Risk activation screen (Figure 2) where you can

enter the Serial Number you have been provided with along with the additional user information.

21

Once this information has been entered ‘Continue’ will be enabled, clicking on this will take you through

to completing the activation process.

Figure 2

Licensing Networked edition

After Safran Risk is installed you will find a “SR7.lic” file in “%appdata%\Safran\Lic\Risk” folder.

For licensing to work for all users on the network, you need to move the SR7.lic file to a network share

where all users of Safran Risk have access to it. Users will need “write” permission to the SR7.lic file.

In addition, every Safran Risk client will need to have the path to the location of SR7.lic in the registry.

(See Registry Settings for example.)

The license file is activated by the first user. This way all the users use the same activated license file

eliminating the need for multiple activations.

Let’s say a company has purchased 10 licenses of Safran Risk. The correct way of setting up such an

environment is as follows:

Copy the license file (SR7.lic) to a file share where all Safran users have R/W access

Distribute (install) the software to the clients

Configure the registry for all the users (see “Registry Settings”)

Run software to activate License on file server

23

Activating the license

The License requires one activation. After the initial activation, each user will automatically register in

the license file ticking of licenses as they register.

Registry Settings

We highly recommend that you use the UNC path when setting the License path. We have used

\\10.10.2.1 as an example below, you need to adjust that according to your systems. The path must be

the same for all users.

32 bit

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Safran Software Solutions\Safran Risk]

"License"="\\10.10.2.1\Safran\Risk\SR7.lic"

64 bit

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Wow6432Node\Safran Software Solutions\Safran Risk]

"License"="\\10.10.2.1\Safran\Risk\SR7.lic"

Grace period “Roaming”

If for any reason a user loses the connection to the license file, the software will continue working for 30

days counting from the last successful connection to the license file. After this period the user needs to

reconnect to the original license file to continue using the software.

This is maintained by the license file “RiskLocal7.lic” located in “%appdata%\Safran\Lic\Risk” folder.

Users must have read/write access to this file.
